This report updates Members on plans to extend the range of learning & development opportunities and establish a Member Learning & Development Working Group.
Minutes:
Heather Daley, Divisional Director, HR and Transformation introduced the report.
Members indicated some concerns with the Council’s current Member training offer. They noted, for example, it was currently difficult to work out if offered sessions were briefings, or training sessions; were focussed on policy development, or skills development. They asked that more detail is provided on listed sessions, so Councillors could identify those opportunities best suited to their development needs.
Members also asked that e-learning opportunities for Councillors be explored.
RESOLVED:
That the General Purposes Committee:
1. Noted the current Member development offer detailed at Appendix 1 of the report.
2. Agreed that the October General Purposes Committee receive a report providing further detail on the development opportunities that could be offered to Members.
3. Agreed access to the development events currently provided for officers as detailed at Appendix 2 of the report.
